"Cotton" Smith.
Whether or not the strenuous
efforts of Senator K 1) Smith have
had aught t<> do with raising the
price of cotton is a question incapahle
of absolute proof either for
or against the junior Senator from
South Carolina. It is a fact, however,
undisputed and indisputable,
that within the past decade no man
in the South,or in the I 'nited States,
has worked harder than Senator
Smith to raise the priee of the
fleecy staple to a point commensurate
with the cost of production, or
a little heyond. It may l?e a co-incidence
that since ''Cotton" Smith
began to think cotton, talk cotton,
dream cotton, day and night, the
price of the South's staple product
has advanced from rive and six
cents a pound to thirteen and fourteen
cents,and the Southern farmer
is today the most independent man
in thk "land of the free and home
cf the brave."
It has been sneeringly asked why
Senator Smith, if he could raise the
price of cotton to fourteen cents,
did not go the whole hog and boost
it to fifty cents or a dollar a pound.
To a thinking man such a question
is absurd. There is a limit to
every man's power and influence,
and one might just as reasonably1
ask, if a Congressman can get a!
fifty million dollar appropriation
for say rivers and harl>ors, whj'does
he not increase it to two hundred
millions. Usually his constituents
thank their stars (and sometimes
their Ilepresentatives, even) for the
fifty millions.
As was stated at the beginning of
this article, Senator Smith may or
may not have had anything to do,
with the price of cotton, but facts'
are stubborn things and it is hard :
to understand how our intelligent!
and well-informed farmers would j
,vote to oust a brother farmer from
the highest office within their gift
to put a lawyer in his place; for, to
cast a vote ior am yi oiiuiii ^ ujr
ponents, means a vote against a
i
farmer in favor of a lawyer.
With Charleston threatened with
bubonic plague and leprosy at
Georgetown, it behooves the loeal
board of health to take every possible
precaution ami preventive meas-'
ure against these horrible scourges,
being brought into our town. Katsj
and mosquitoes are said to l>e the!
most active agents in spreading the
deadly infection.

A FISH STORY-TOBACCO SEASON
ON-SOCIAL AFFAIRS?A
POPULAR SUMMER RESORT.
Special to The County Record.
Lake City, July 14:?How* is this
for a fish story given your corres!
pendent not an hour since by a substantia!
pillar of the Methodist
church, who quotes two pulpit
dominies as accessories after the
fact? The narrator, Mr D M Epps,:
is corroborated by Rev J VV Ariall.of
this place, and Rev R S Truesdale of
Charleston.
Last Wednesday, Sth inst, a party
of seven gentlemen, inexperienced
in sea-fishing, left the Custom House
wharf at Charleston aboard a launch
for the purpose of trying their skill;
after the> were out onlv two hours
I the amateur fishermen took an inventory
of their stock and found
that they had hauled in 261) of the

unknown to Mr Epps, while there;
were four sharks averaging in j
weight from twelve to fifteen pounds
and measuring three to three and a
j half feet long. Mr Epps tells this
tale in good faith and asks your!
scribe to believe it or not as she sees
fit, buc, coupled with the fact that
both he and Rev Mr Truesdale suf-,
fered intensely from mul tner, j
may not that probably be the reason
of the unusually large catch?
Despite the hot weather for the
past two weeks, there has been no
